HP 8620 printer two sided printing reverses pages

Is there a way to change the order that this printer prints double sided prints? It prints last page first, so if it is 3 pages pages 2 & 3 are one page and page 1 is just one-sided. Need this to be reversed. Can you do this in the Mac driver?

Hello @thekoaman,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing issues when duplex printing from your Mac OS X 10.10 Computer to your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer. I want to thank you for including all of the detail regarding the troubleshooting steps you have already completed in your posts. At this time I do believe that there is either a driver corruption on your computer with the HP Officejet, or an issue with the file that you're attempting to duplex. If multiple documents are experiencing the duplexing page order issue than that will rule out a corrupted document. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
Step 1: Reset the Print System:
To start, I am going to have you Reset the Print System on your Mac as it is important that we have a nice clean slate to work with for troubleshooting. Please click here for instructions on how to perform the Reset. When the website opens follow the steps under'Resetting the printing system in OS X Lion' as the steps are the same for your Mac OS X 10.10 Operating System. This Reset will remove every printer from your Mac. However, it does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, should you use other printers on this Mac, once the Reset is complete simply ensure that the printers are connected via a USB Cable or Network connected and (+) Add them back in. Do not add your HP Officejet back in at this time.
Once the reset is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
Next, please click here for steps on how to properly uninstall your printer. Once the site opens select the dropdown for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' as they are the same for Mac OS X 10.10 and follow the steps to complete the uninstall process.
Once the uninstall is complete, please continue on.
Step 3: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 4: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 5: Add the Printer:
1. Please click here to download the correct drivers for your printer.
2. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left
3. Once the download is complete, please follow the onscreen instructions to install your printer
4. Once the installation is complete, I would like you to check your driver to ensure that the HP Officejet driver is being used and not the AirPrint driver.
5. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
6. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list.
7. If your printer is already listed, remove and re-add the printer to confirm communication with the Mac. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer
8. Click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer
9. Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Ensure that you have the HP Officejet driver selected and not the AirPrint.
10. Click Add to add the printer to the list.
- Source
Now that the driver is added back in successfully, please try duplex printing again.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

HP L7780 Printing - Two-sided and Multiple pages

The HP L7780 printer is capable of printing two-sided pages and multiple pages per page (e.g. two-up on a single sheet). This works just fine with my WIndows XP systems, but not with my BRAND NEW Pro! I've installed the latest drivers from HP ... any help here?

Is any of this helpful?

Printing with HP Officejet 7310 Automatic two sided and 2 pages on one sheet

I am trying to print from power point slides with my HP Officejet 7310 with Automatic two sided printing capabilities and I would like to print 2 slides on each page. Can this be acomplished and is so how? Thanks

Not necessarily the cleanest, but you can print to a new PDF file. In the printer properties, select the page size, and multi-up option. You might also find that on the pdf printer menu (at least I have that on my AA8.1.2). You may still have to select the paper size, since it is different from the original.

Printing two-sided

Hi all,
I am fairly new to Keynote and I cannot figure out how to print the slides two-sided with 4 pages to a sheet/side. The option is listed on the print menu but is 'grey-ed out' so I cannot select it. I am trying to save paper here and any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can always first print a PDF document using 'four pages on each page' lay out, then print the PDF document: first print even (or uneven) pages, put those back in and print uneven (even) ones (if your printer does not allow for two sided printing).
Good luck, Maureen

8500A Plus prints two sided. Each side prints to edge so neither will align with each other

What setting could I be overlooking?
I have a 8500A Plus with the Two-sided Printing Accessory installed. I'm using it as a wireless printer from a Macbook Pro, using ADOBE Acrobat 9, both 100% and fit to page have an alignment issue.
I want to print a two sided document, one page per side, orientation landscape, both sides same size, align on both sides center (or at least align back-to-back). But whatever I try, it gets printed "binding top" which renders the header on one side back-to-back with the footer on the other side.
This is important to my production as a graphic designer. Please help.

Hi @Psyclist,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your paper is getting stuck in you ADF when using the Duplex Scanning Mode, on your HP Officejet 8500A Plus printer. I am happy to help!
The best guide, I was able to find during my searching, is this guide, When Using the Automatic Document Feeder, an 'Original Jam: Clear jam, and then press OK' Message Di....
I would try following that through, and please let me know what happens!

Using pages to create a two-sided brochure and second page prints upside down!

When using a pages template to create a two-sided brochure, the second page needs to be reversed (upside down) for correct printing when emailing to an outside printer sources. How do I reverse the page within the pages app?

IF you are using a printer with 2-sided printing, in the expanded print dialog you will have a selection for long-edge binding OR short-edge binding. Whichever setting you have set, switch to the other one.

How do you print two-sided in In Design when some sections have an odd number of pages?

I'm new to In Design, and I'm trying to do something that seems pretty basic and having trouble figuring out how to do it, and I haven't found anything in the Adobe Forum or online that addresses this situation.
I am working on a document that is broken into sections, with page numbering starting on Page 1 for each section. I have mirror image layouts for the odd and even master pages - for example, the page number is on the left side on even pages and on the right side for odd pages, as you might generally expect to see on a two-sided printout, where in a book or a binder, the even pages are on the left and the odd pages are on the right.
I'm printing the document from my computer onto a printer that supports two-sided printing. I don't see any options in the File / Print window for two sided printing, so I set this option on the printer itself using the [Setup...] button at the bottom of the window. This works - I am getting the printout on both sides of the sheets of paper.
At the moment, the first section is 3 pages (two spreads, one with the first page, and one with the other two). The next section starts with page number 1 on the third spread (one page) and then continues two pages per spread - all as expected.
Here's the problem - the first page of the second section is printing on the back of the last sheet of first section, rather than starting on a new front-facing sheet - so when I put this in a binder, the odd pages are on the left and the even pages on the right. Every time I hit the end of another section with an odd number of pages, it flips around again.
There's a manual workaround I found - scan through the document and add a blank page to the end of every section that has an odd number of pages (and check "Print Blank Pages). But I'd have to do this every time I print as I'm adding new pages, and add/delete blank pages as the number in each section changes.
I can't believe that In Design doesn't provide a way to get this to work properly, as I'm sure many people have had this same situation, and I'm hoping that it's some simple thing that I just haven't been able to figure out...
HELP!!! (thanks! B^)

Well, MS Word does something like this automatically - if you tell it to start a new section on an odd page, and if the section before it ends on an odd page, it will "skip" the even page number in between - and when it prints, it automatically spits out a blank page in between them, so that on a two-sided printer, the odd pages all print on the front of the paper (which is the right-facing sheet when they are put in a binder or book).
InDesign shows the pages like this on the spreads (odd page numbers always on the right), so it is aware of the desired orientation, and I'd think it would provide a mechanism to ensure that they print out this way as well...

Trying to figure out how to print four postcards per two-sided page.

I've been a Mac user for a little over a year, and I love it, but with this latest (2014, OS X) version of Pages, I cannot find out how to set up my document so it will print four, two-sided postcards. The only postcard templates are two per page, and it feels like I've gone to the end of the application and back trying to figure out the answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
:Danul

Just adding to Viking's reply.
The trick is to get the second page (the back) to print behind the first set (the front) when you feed the paper back into the printer or use the duplexing function, if your printer has that.
Desktop printers do not feed paper very accurately so it is hard to align the two. It will pay to test if there is a consistent error in positioning and move the 2nd set to allow for it.
Best to aim for the centre of your paper stock, so adjust the artwork to have the two samples head to head exactly in the centre of the page with a 10mm or 3/8th inch gap between them. You can do this using the Graphics Inspector to position them and rotate the top postcard 180°.
Step by step:
1. Group and rotate the top postcard 180°
2. Position it with 10mm or 3/8th inch gap above the 2nd postcard
3. Group the two postcards and centre the set on the page
4. Do the same to the back set
5. Print the front set
6. Tumble turn or rotate the paper (test for what works) and put back into the printer to print the back set
7. Test by printing simple boxes the right size and shape to see how they align. Move template on the page to allow for any errors the printer makes.
For a set of 4 follow above on a landscape page, with another pair next to this one.
8. If there is only one design for the postcard (1 front and one back) they can be on the same page, head to head (see above) and when you feed the paper back in the printer, the back should print behind the front and the front behind the back to make up two double sided postcards.
Simply test, using dummies to indicate paper direction, rectangles with F & B in the centre, and take note which direction, and side up needs to go into the printer for what result. Then keep that information handy by the printer, with step by steps to repeat them.

Two sided printing when I print multiple pages

Don't know what happened but all of a sudden when I print multiple pages, it prints double sided. Doesn't matter if I go into preferences and click one sided, it still prints double. I have a MAC, vers 10.9.5 and it looks like my adobe acrobat pro looks like vers 8, Can any help this village idiot? Ready to pull my hair out or throw this huge peice of equipment out the window. Oh, and at intervals a window comes up for Adobe updates and it says, not online--while I am online. Apple can't even help me. Thanks a million.

Not sure what type of printer you are using or environment you are in (corporate workgroup) but it is possible someone set the printer defaults to two-sided.

Two-sided printing works, but alternate pages print "upside down"

I have an HP C6280 all-in-one, networked via Bonjour. The 6280 ships with the duplex (two-sided) printing accessory. Latest drivers from HP (v2.3?) installed. I can select two-sided printing, and it works...but no matter which binding option I choose, the pages print out as if I was binding at the top. IE, page 1,3,5 are right side up but 2,4,6 are upside down. I want binding on the left.
What am I missing? On the HP forum, I saw a note that this is a known problem in Vista. Any ideas? thx

This was a problem about a year old with older drivers for other printers. Maybe somehow you've got these installed. Run the HP Uninstaller from its folder in Applications and uninstall all HP software. Reinstall version 9.7.1 from the download here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55528-2 &lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=219&product=3194498
You could also try reseting the Leopard print system. Search for how to do this.

Problem with two sided printing

I routinely did two sided printing with my C7280 All-In-One printer, using Vista. But, now that I upgraded to Windows 7, I can no longer do so. When I select two sided printing, a three picture window appears, which instructs me to turn over the odd numbered pages that are printed out first, following by printing of the even numbered pages on the reverse sides of the odd numbered ones. When I use another computer that still has Vista, all works well; i.e., each page is pulled in again, and the second page is printed on the opposite side of the preceding page. I have uploaded the new printer drivers for Windows 7, but still can't get it to automatically print two sided. How can I correct this?

Go to the first post in the link I gave and read the details. In particular:
No option for two-sided printing. The selection for automatic two sided printing may be grayed out, or only manual duplexing is offered. This typically occurs because the duplexer is not recognized as installed, or the driver may default to not installed. To correct this in Vista do the following: go to Start, Control Panel, Printers, right-click on the printer, Run as Administrator, Properties, (continue), Device Settings, Installable Options, set the "Two Sided Duplex Unit" to installed, OK. For Windows 7 the method is similar: go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, Printer properties, Device settings, Installable Options, set the "Two Sided Duplex Unit" to installed, OK.

How Can I Restart Two-Sided Printing On the Second Side?

I printed a PDF document in two-sided mode. I apparently waited too long after printing the first side because when I clicked on "Continue", nothing happened and the printer just said "Ready". How can I restart this print job so that only the second side of each sheet is printed?

Asssuming you are using Adobe reader you would go to "Print Range" and in the "subset" box select to only print the even (or odd, depending on which have already printed) pages . You may or may not need to check the "reverse pages" box depending on which page is on top in the paper tray - if it is the first of second page then do not reverse pages.

Two Sided Booklet Printing Problems

When I print two-sided booklet, the first side prints OK; however, then I fold into booklet , the second side (center pages) are upside down. how can I get the pages to pring correctly on both sides?

Then use this script for CS3:
http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip
Then once you create your booklet, export to PDF. From acrobat you can print odd pages and even pages only. I *think* you may have to select print reverse order for the second pass since page one will be at the bottom of your pile when you reload paper for second pass. Do a test with a few sheets first.
If you're still stumped, you can click through my name to email me directly and I'll post a QT movie for you.
